Description

Cellulite treatment device {DEVICE FOR TREATING CELLULITE}

The subject of the invention relates to a cellulite treatment device for use in non-invasive techniques for the rapid, safe and long term removal of local fat deposits. The present invention is advantageous for the removal of these fats and causes the breakdown of triglycerides stored as fatty acids and glycerol in fat cells, and also increases the permeability of their walls to identify the lasers and currents that emit them through the membrane pores. In combination, they circulate through the blood and lymphatic system, converting them into fuel and helping them disappear through daily physical exercise.

Cellulite is generally known to accumulate fatty tissue in certain parts of the body, forming nodules of fat, water and toxins. Other names for this include gynoid lipodystrophy, orange peeling symptoms or "mattresses". 85% of women? 98% have some degree of cellulite symptoms after puberty, which is more common in some races than others. There seems to be a hormonal component in his development, but cellulite is rarely found in men.

There are several degrees of cellulite, including soft cellulite, hard cellulite, and the best known sclerosis cellulite (orange peeling symptoms). The clinical manifestation of cellulite is the result of altered circulation of the fat layer (harpy), where the fat layer grows and the sidewalls swell to form recesses, which makes physical movements such as running to strengthen the muscles of the gluteus maximus and thighs important.

Adipose cells are of course placed in genetically transposed regions. The function of this mechanism, called lipid production, is to store reserve fat for the organism. If you sit down, this reserve is not used enough, and lipolysis (mechanisms that use or release fat) gradually stops working.

The prior art includes well known cellulite therapies, including treatment with current on one hand and with soft laser on the other. However, the use of laser emitters in the form of longitudinal beams, such as those used to date (spot beams) and tropicalization in circuits (more specifically, covering the high frequency electrodes with insulating material and the rear part of the diode Immersed in the discharge head and the aluminum dissipator (which also has its back part in the resin) allows for combined use without similar jumps or interference (due to which both techniques have not been compatible so far).

Moreover, due to the synergy between the laser on fat-containing cells and the currents that make the cells more permeable, much better effects can be obtained than those obtained using other applications.

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to increase the effectiveness of cellulite treatment. This technical problem is solved by the cellulite treatment device proposed by the present invention.

More specifically, the cellulite treatment device relates to a rectangular body having a plurality of support elements, the support elements being given at least one for each vertex of the rectangle body, the support elements being round tips in contact with the skin to be treated. Is over. A feature of the cellulite treatment device is that a plurality of laser emitters are attached to the body of the head, and a plurality of electrodes for emitting current are housed in the support element, which electrodes are given at least one per support element, and An electrode forms a region on the skin that is subjected to a complex action of multiple lasers and currents generated by the electrode.

In one practical embodiment, there are five laser emitters, which are evenly arranged in the form of a cross with respect to the central diode in the center of the body of the head. In addition, the laser diode has 640? In the form of magenta visible light penetrating more than 15 mm into the tissue. It has a wavelength of 690 nm, preferably 640 nm. It is emitted in the form of a non-spot beam.

In one practical embodiment four electrodes are received inside the support element and come into contact with the skin through a rounded tip. These electrodes are insulated and preferably emit a high voltage current.

In a second aspect of the invention, the use of the device for use in the treatment of cellulite is claimed.

Thanks to the device and application method described, a specific combination advantageous for release of this fat is obtained, resulting in the process of breaking down triglycerides stored in fat-containing cells into fatty acids and glycerol.

Another advantage of the present invention is that the permeability of the fat cell wall is increased so that triglycerides can pass through the pores of the membrane and circulate in the blood and lymphatic system to be converted into fuel, which is advantageous for eliminating triglycerides through physical exercise. .

Combining the high density laser emitter (640-690 nm) with the current emitter and massage head results in an effective combination for the treatment of cellulite. By this innovative combination, fat-containing cells can be emptied, the accumulated fat can be removed, and the tone of tissue can be increased. This not only reduces the volume but also molds the treated area.

Throughout the description and claims, the word “comprises” and variations thereof do not exclude other technical features, additives, elements, and steps. For those skilled in the art, other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will be found, in part, in the description of the invention and in part in the claims. The following examples and figures are included by way of illustration only and should not be construed as limiting the invention as claimed. In addition, the present invention is intended to cover all possible combinations of the specific and preferred embodiments described herein.

1 shows a front view and a plan view of a cellulite treatment device of the present invention.

The devices and methods of the present invention describe a non-invasive treatment that removes local fat deposits quickly, safely and continuously for a long time. The method basically combines the application of the invention, known as low level laser therapy (LLLT), with a high voltage, low intensity current having an intermediate frequency.

The application of a laser stimulates the lysis of fats (triglycerides) in fat-containing cells, affecting the mitochondria of these cells, resulting in the generation of ATP, or adenosine triphosphate (which is the base nucleotide in obtaining cellular energy), Fatty acids and glycerol are produced. It consists of a nitrogenated base (adenine), ribose, attached to carbon 1 of the Pentose sugar, which has three phosphate groups bonded to carbon 5. It is found during photosynthesis and cellular respiration and is consumed by many enzymes upon catalysis of many chemical processes.

After the fatty acid molecules are obtained (they are moved so that they can be removed), it is necessary to allow them to leave the interior of the cells, which removes the pores in the membranes of these cells (which will remove the fatty acid molecules). To open, this is done by applying a high voltage, low intensity current with an intermediate frequency (using an electrode made of insulating material). The current applied increases the permeability of the membranes of these cells.

640? High-density laser emission in the form of magenta visible light, emitted by a laser diode with an emission in the range of 690 nm, preferably 640 nm, penetrates more than 15 mm into the tissue, i.e. below the surface of the skin, which is responsible for fat storage in the organism. Cells (fat cells) are found there.

Combination with current applicators safely and selectively acts on fat-containing cell membrane receptors, resulting in biochemical stimuli that favor the removal of accumulated fat.

As shown in FIG. 1, in a practical embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus comprises a plurality of laser light emitters 1 (preferably five laser light emitters 1) and a plurality of current emitters 2 (preferably Includes four current emitters 2) and a head or massage element (not shown).

More specifically, the emitter or laser diodes 1 are located in the center 3 of the body of the device 3, arranged evenly in the form of a cross with respect to the central emitter, and the emitter or current electrodes 2 are arranged in the device. It is located at the vertex of the body of (3) and runs down to be received inside the cylinder (31) with a rounded tip (32) and to form a gap (4) between them. In this gap, the emitter 41 of the laser diode 1 is concentrated on the skin 5, thus forming an area in which the laser and the current emitted from the electrode 2 act together.

The cylinder or support element 31, located in the body of the device 3, comprises an electrode 2, which is made of metal on which an insulating material is applied.

The laser emitter and current emitter are used for up to 20 minutes prior to the subcutaneous treatment of absorbing the generated waste and discharging through suction by fold rolling to perform deep discharge using the massage head. In addition, the effect of smoothing the skin is generated, the appearance of the skin is improved and the skin tone is high.

In contrast to other prior art, the procedure subject to the present invention does not cause any damage to the fat cell wall or the tissues near it, but only removes fat accumulation and increases the tone of the tissue being treated, resulting in not only vascularization but also cells It also improves metabolism. However, to obtain an effective treatment, when using the device, there must be a diet rich in protein and low in fat and supplementation of exercise to remove lipids from fat-containing cells.

The description below describes the effect of each element of the device (laser emitter, current emitter and massage head) on the body to be treated.

laser Emitter

Laser emission is a high precision technique and depends on its wavelength. Lasers have different effects on the human body. The 640 nm wavelength is preferred because it can penetrate deeply into human tissue in terms of its ability to absorb red light. Alternatively, these wavelengths can stimulate mitochondria in fat-containing cells and can also undergo lipolysis in a natural way through enzyme lipases, which convert triglycerides and long chain fats into fatty acids and glycerol. These lighter lipids then move out of the fat accumulation through the discharge head and are used as energy sources for daily physical activity. This biostimulation is nonthermal, so it does not generate heat and does not alter protein structure.

One advantage of the laser is that the laser does not permanently deform the fat-containing cell wall and temporarily increases its permeability. In addition, lasers enhance cell responses by activating cell lysis through natural enzyme processes (lipases), and also lighter chains (triglycerides) of heavy fatty acids (fatty acids and glycerol; which are consumed naturally in the organism). Switch to

Polarity biocurrent

This is a technique for electrically stimulating fat cells or fat-containing cells. Under the action of the generated electric field, fat-containing cells reactivate their exchange to release all their contents. The frequency emitted by the device (450–950 Hz) can activate biopolymers and cell receptors through resonance, because communication and synchronization between them are enhanced.

These currents activate the internal mechanisms of the cell and leave it in a normal state. One of these internal mechanisms aligns the bonds in the protein chains in the membrane, causes the membrane to be depolarized, thereby increasing its permeability (which releases the degradation metabolites and other residues that result from combustion during cell metabolism). It also consists of receiving large amounts of nutrients and activators of oxygen and energy metabolism (corticoids and T3 / T4) and cellular peptides that appear through energy production from niche liquids. All of these put the cells in a balanced state, meaning permanent oxidation and reduction of the DH enzyme. This suggests a constant flow of flavin electrons from the membrane, these changes are in response to stimuli caused by system frequencies, which initiate the synthesis of enzymes and also initiate cell phagocytosis.

Application of the device to the treatment of dyslipidemia activates a series of mechanisms of action.

a) resinous mechanism of action; Stimulating autonomic nervous system release results in the release of cyclic AMP from the interior of fat-containing cells, leading to the degradation of triglycerides. In the cellulite region, fat-containing cells are concentrated as "static" cells. The application of current causes the circulation of lipid breakdown products and residues resulting from cell combustion, which causes these cells to move.

b) anti-inflammatory action; Reabsorption of metabolites reduces edema response. Due to the influence of the current, the polarization changes, thereby changing the permeability of the cell membrane, thus changing the distribution and moisture content of Na + and K + ions in the cell.

c) vasodilation; Because currents stimulate the vasculature, this hypervascularization modifies cell metabolism, which increases cell exchange and improves cell nutrition.

By rolling Endo massage  absorption

Recession and ups and downs are common characteristics of cellulite due to the inclusion of fat cells or collection of fat cells. They grow together in large, lumped form with fibrotic tissue, which compresses the blood and lymphatic circuits "confined" between connective tissue fibers.

The device, which is the subject of the present invention, provides massage means through suction acting on subcutaneous level massage with negative pressure. Traditional massage is to push the tissue into the interior of the body, but the endomassage by fold rolling performed by the massage head included in the device of the present invention massages the fluid from the inside to the outside. It is mobile and from the outside the fluid is reabsorbed into the lymphatic system.

The strong elongation of the fiber caused by aspiration in the form of fold rolling causes the fiber to break, resulting in a homogeneous adipose tissue. This massage by deep aspiration increases vascularization and accurate excretion and also allows re-absorption of waste from lipolysis and moisture retention with manual displacement towards the natural elimination circuit, which is caused by the resistance of cellulite It is beneficial to make the edema disappear.

This reduces skin depressions caused by these buildup, thereby reducing protrusions and improving the appearance of "orange peeled skin". The physiological effects described are as follows.

a) It is advantageous for oxygen treatment of various tissues on which it acts. With regard to abrasions, it improves its vascularization and has a positive effect on its appearance.

b) the skin becomes supple and the tone becomes large

c) The synovial dilation leads to a more uniform body temperature, considering that cellulite causes "cold areas" due to poor blood circulation.
